Big Olaf Creamery Reviews
Absolutely recommend. We make a trip up to Siesta key every year and HAVE to stop here. Workers are the sweetest and they always have the best service and sweets. 100% make a stop here on your trip!!!
Went with the family, man behind the counter was very nice, and the ice cream was excellent
Best ice cream on St. Armands Circle. Lots of options, delicious ice cream and a fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere. Family owned for 40 years. It’s our favorite ice cream shop and we look forward to visiting every year!

Big Olaf Creamery is well known for its delicious ice cream, offering a variety of flavors at a lower cost than nearby competitors. Popular options include Butter Pecan and Chocolate Fudge Cake. Customers can enjoy their ice cream in a Kona sugar cone, waffle cone with chocolate and sprinkles, or in a cup. The shop is located in St. Armand's and operates as a cash-only business, with an ATM available inside. The ice cream quality is high, and many customers appreciate the rich, creamy scoops that make for a classic ice cream experience.
While the shop's interior may look outdated and could benefit from a remodel, the focus remains on the ice cream itself. Visitors often find the place busy, especially during peak times, and seating can be limited, so taking ice cream to go is a popular choice. Some customers have noted the owner is incredibly sweet and funny, making the visit more enjoyable. Despite some minor inconveniences like the crowded space and the need for cash, Big Olaf Creamery continues to be a favorite for fresh, tasty ice cream treats.
